"Much better..." - my reaction at the end of my run
In a post I wrote last week I talked about how my mind got the best of me. When confronted with a challenge that asked me to stretch a little bit in the running arena, it let me down.
This Sunday morning I had a choice to make: believe my mind that my knee was hurt or simply go our and run a shorter more manageable distance.
My choice was the second one. So on a very windy, sand blasting your face, humid day I went out and ran 3-4 miles. I did not measure it since all I wanted was to go to my first turn.
Next weekend the plan is to extend it to 7 miles. Following week get it back to 10 miles.
Moral of this story is that at times we have to take a big step back and rebuild our abilities over time.
Today's question is:
"Have you ever gotten ahead by taking a step back?"
